New Method for Pricing Certain Stock ScreenGoods

A simple method for computing ceiling prices at all selling levels for stock screen goods wired with 14 x 18 mesh galvanized or hronze rvire ancl 16 x lU mesh aluminum wire, comparatively new products, has been set up by OPA, effective February 13, 1946.

The new pricing method revokes the former open billing orcler in elTect for these items. Products sold under the open billing arrangement rvill be settled for at the newly established ceiling prices.

Maximum prices will be computed by applying specified additions to ceiling prices already listed in the regulation governing sales of screen goods with 16 x 16 mesh wire. The resulting prices are subject to the usual discounts determined by species of lumber and type of purchaser. Where no 16 x 16 mesh wire prices are provided in the regulation, the seller must apply to the Office of Price Administration, Building Materials and Construction Branch, Washington 25,D. C., for individual price authorization for these new rvires.

The listed price additions were determined by computing the differential in cost per 100 square feet of rviring betrveen tl-re new wiring and the cost for the particular 16 mesh rviring to whicl, the new list is added.

Items affected include Ponderosa pine and Southern pine doors, extension rvindorv screens and comltinatior-r doors equipped u'ith 14 x 18 galvanized *'ire, ar.rd lronderosa, Southern pine and oak screen doors, and combination doors equipped with 14 x 18 mesh bronze and 16 x 16 mesh aluminum rvire.

Pricing provisions for the above items are provided in the regulation governing sales of stock screen goods for manufactnrers, jobbers, retailers and mail-order houses. Sales of combination doors included in direct-mill sales of 15,000 pounds or more of stock millwork moved by rail to one or more points, or 12,000 pounds or more moved by truck to a single destination are priced in the regulation governing sales of stock millwork.
